8 Out Of 10 Cats On YouTube

Someone named acaster has been putting episodes of 8 Out Of 10 Cats up on YouTube. S0 far they have posted nearly the whole series 1-18, there are a few random episodes missing, but more are being added daily. There have been two series after 18 but they haven't posted any of those yet. 8 Out Of 10 Cats is one of my top panel shows. It might not achieve the intellectual level of Qi but there are way better nob gags. Sometimes I laugh so hard, I can hardly catch my breath.

The show is hosted by Jimmy Carr and each week he's joined by the two team captains and 4 additional panelists. Sean Lock hosted one team for the first 18 series. He's been replaced by Rob Beckett for the last two. The other team had Dave Spikey for series 1-3, Jason Manford for series 4- 10, with Jon Richardson captained for series 11-18. Replacing Jon for the last two series has been Aisling Bee.

I do miss Jon and Sean but Rob and Aisling are able replacements. With that many comedians you'd expect a lot of jokes and they deliver. I've seen some of these episodes 2 and 3 times and I still laugh. Out loud.

There are a few other programs posted, some might be of interest to Brit TV fans. The Great Comic Relief Bake Off and The Great Sport Relief Bake Off are posted, and a series I hadn't seen before, called King Of..., looked kind of interesting. There's a few random Qi's and series 3 of That Mitchell and Webb Look.
